I am in NYC area. I usually use Richard Hsu. He is local in Bklyn and his work is always impeccable but unfortunately he is very busy lately (mostly keeping up with Hsunami shaft orders). I am interested in a 2nd option.
Change ferrule, collars ring, shaft insert, drill out weight bolt and retap, machine down a butt to specified collar/buttplate diameters and refinish/rewrap, short of building a cue. I had a different local guy change a ferrule on a 13mm shaft and it ended up 13mm at the shaft but 12.5 at the tip. And the collar ring he installed was not very good work. Not happy.
Asking for recommendations for someone who does good work in short timeframe. Prefer local but that may not be possible. There are some cues that I would not ship because of loss risk but for others I am willing to send. Only place I know of that was recommended for good and fast work was proficientbilliards. Please reply to thread or PM also welcome. Thanks.
